Today started with airbrushing the bottom of the walls with a light concrete airbrush paint, followed by airbrushing gunmetal grey on the two doors. When they were dry, I shaded the recesses of the walls and above the doors and dry brushed a light grey over them.

Using my airbrush I added a black wash followed by a brown wash over the doors and then a brown wash over the bottom of the walls.

I have added switches for the doors, built an air-conditioning unit, and painted a drainpipe. I also need to finish the floor and the concrete loading area.

This looks really good! It feels so "real." Kudos.

Thanks mate, I hope you like the improvements then :-)

You have really gotten this one down. Off to share the update.

I finished painting today, using concrete grey airbrush paint on the docking ramp and a layer on the floor. Using a brown wash to add a couple of tyre tracks leading out of the dock door and weathered the docking ramp and steps.  I dry brushed a light grey over the cracks on the ground and docking ramp. The drain pipe was painted gunmetal grey before been given a dark wash and then glued into place. The air conditioning unit was painted white, given a brown wash before being glued to the wall.

I am wondering if I should add a couple of decals to the walls and build a couple of wooden pallets?

I really like it. I'm not sure I'd go with decals, but the pallets make a lot of sense, and maybe an exit sign? I don't think, however, that you need to do anything.

Today I tried my hand at a paper weathering technique introduced to me by another builder. I printed off my signs and laid the paper in a roasting pan while waiting for the kettle to boil. I brewed a jug of tea while making myself the all-important morning coffee (yes I have a branded mug 😄).

[RCWCreations]

While the tea brewed I have oven warming to 200 degrees and I play Lego Superheroes 2. After about 10 minutes I pour the tea into the pan and return to my game for 15 minutes. I dispose of the tea at the allotted time and pop the pan into the oven for 15 minutes and return to my game.

When the timer goes, I take the pan out of the oven and the paper is cooked. I have to admit the paper looks great for a treasure map but the next time I do this, I won't let the tea stew for as long.

I cut the signs I want out and glue them to the diorama using PVA glue. I was going to make a pallet and a barrel to go with this piece but I feel that this would just crowd this piece. Therefore I believe this piece is now finished, my final pictures are to follow.
